In earlier days, on the day before marriage, the Bridegroom will be going a very slow ride in the open car, this is called Jaanavaasam. Now a days, this is not followed.

On the Marriage day, in the early morning, the bride groom will be asked to eat many sweets, snacks and tiffin along with a bachelor boy, who will be a close relative of his.

Then the couple will be seated on a Oonjal, after the exchange of garlands.During this garland exchange, both the bride and bridegroom will be lifted by their Uncles (mama), on their shoulders. மாலை அவ்ளோ சட்டுன்னு மாத்திட விட மாட்டாங்க , ஓடி ஓடி ஆட்டம் காட்டுவாங்க .

Surrounding this Oonjal, all the relatives will perform many rituals, sing songs. The Bridegroom's sister, will carry many articles, like saree, salwars, cosmetics, dolls, handbags and many accessories like this, which she is going to gift for the bride. She will later display these, on the stage of wedding.
